Sweet Redemption: The Morningstar Series Book 3
Sweet Redemption Chapter 66

"That was so hot." I said as I ripped his shirt off of his body. "I want to s**k on you." I said as I dropped to my knees.

"Acaisia wait." Bou said but I was already face to face with his huge c**k.

That was when I noticed it. My breath caught in my throat as I came face to face with it.

That's my mark. It's so beautiful. A full moon with our initials carved into it. Tears filled my eyes as I got to my feet. I stared down at it before looking Bou in his eyes. He looked so pained. Did he not want my mark?

"Bou?" I said his name as a question.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered as he looked into my eyes.

Sorry? He's sorry that he has my mark?

"I kept it from you because you kept saying you weren't ready. I didn't want you to run Acaisia. Please don't run from me." He said, desperation clear in his voice.

This is what he had been keeping from me. He didn't tell me because he was afraid I would be mad?

That's how bad I had been f*****g up. To the point that my mate thought that I would run from him if I found out that I marked him.

How could I have screwed up so badly? It all makes so much sense now. He hasn't been avoiding f*****g me, just avoiding letting me see him naked. And I walked away from him and left with Russell. Oh my Gods I f****d up so bad.

"Acaisia say something.. Please. I'm so sorry I should have told you as soon as I noticed it. I shouldn't of kept it from you baby. I just couldn't lose you. Please tell me you understand." Bou was begging me with his eyes.

His hand was squeezing around my wrist tighter. And how the hell is he still rock f*****g hard?

"I.." I said but what was I supposed to say?

How do I feel? What do I think?

Selma purred in my head. I felt her surface and the need to claim her mate was too much. I don't think I even tried to fight Selma, just let her pounce on our mate.

My canines elongated as we fell back on the bed. Without a moment of hesitation I bit down on his neck, right where I wanted my mark to go.

Bou's arms had come up to circle around me as we fell. When I pierced his skin he let out a gasp followed by a very loud moan. He lifted my hips and placed me to take in his entire length. The movement was not gentle, and Bou slammed me down on his c**k roughly.

Despite me being on top and with my teeth sunk deep inside his neck, Bou controlled everything. He bounced me on top of him so hard and fast that I was doing more damage to his neck than just a mark.

So, I released my teeth and licked Bou's wound clean the best I could while being bounced around. Our moans were mingling with each other as Bou f****d me. I felt the flood of emotions as our bond grew immensely stronger. The crash of Bou's love and how good the s*x felt had me cumming fast and hard. After my o****m started I couldn't even tell you how long it lasted, or if it ever stopped.

The room grew hot as wave after wave of pure ecstasy rolled through me. My eyes snapped open to see that Bou and I were covered in black flames. They were hot but didn't burn us. If it weren't for the plessure flowing through my body continuously I would have been more concerned. Bou didn't even seem to notice. Seconds later he squeezed my hips tighter and with a loud moan of my name he came inside of me.

Finally after he had stopped my own o****m had as well. We were panting heavily. Bou laid all the way back on the bed and I fell right on top of him. I looked into his eyes and he gave me a goofy smile.

"You marked me." He said in awe. "On purpose this time."

Bou's huge smile was contagious and I soon was smiling with him. He was right, I marked him on purpose. I took the step he had been waiting for me to take, and now I was ready to take the rest. Sitting up on top of him the black flames seemed to move with my body. Bou ran his hands through the flames and they seemed to enjoy his attention.

"I want more." I said and Bou's eyes met mine.

There was something different in his eyes. Just when I was about to ask if he was okay I felt his exhaustion through the bond. Oh s**t. I should have known that my mark would take a lot of his energy. Not to mention everything that happened before this. The fight, f*****g me the way he did, Bou was already a bit drained. Plus he hasn't fed from me in days.

"Baby are you okay?" I asked him.

Bou nodded his head but closed his eyes. I got off of him and watched as he pouted at the loss. Rolling my eyes I moved him more on the bed. Then moving the covers out of the way I crawling into bed with him and covered us both up. Bou was asleep before I even snuggled up to him.

******************

My mate has been asleep for three hours. I lay awake the entire time just staring at him and listening to his heartbeat. He's marked now. Apparently he has been for a least a week but now it was even more intense.

First of all, now I knew, and secondly, now he has two marks. I wish I would have taken the risk with him sooner. Selma was huffing in agreement but I ignored her.

While Bou was asleep I inspected the mark on his neck. It was beautiful just like the witch's mark. It was only my large teeth marks but now they were white. They stood out against Bou's tanned skin and I had spent a lot of time touching them. Bou was dead to the world otherwise the simple action would have woken him up.

I felt all of his emotions as soon as my teeth sunk into his skin. His love for me, his worry that I would leave him, and his pain that I caused. Bou had no idea how to block me out and even in his sleep I can feel him. He's dreaming about something lovely and I can feel his peace. Goddess, I can't wait until he wakes up.

Rolling over onto my back I stared at the ceiling and thought about the black flames. As soon as I was able to calm my brain, I knew exactly what that was. My darkness. Tia and Relly get shadows, and I get black fire. I wonder what that is supposed to mean. I should tell Tia ASAP.

As far as I knew we only got our darkness when something terrible happened. Maybe that wasn't really the case. It wasn't with Tia, though her story was a bit different anyways. I wonder if Ahkari has gotten hers as well.

I was so deep in thought that I hadn't noticed Bou roll over and open his eyes, until he placed a gentle kiss on my cheek. My eyes snapped to his but he just continued to kiss down my jaw.

"Bou.." I breathed out his name.

"Hmmm?" He hummed against my skin before pulling away to look me in the eyes. "What were you thinking so hard about love?" He asked me with a smile.

I blushed. "Uhm, a lot." I answered lamely.

"Like?" Bou pushed as he propped himself up on his elbow to look down at me.

I shrugged. "That black fire mostly." I said.

"Oh yeah. That was pretty interesting." He said as he snaked an arm around my middle.

"I think that it was my d-darkness." I stuttered out as I started to heat up from the l**t Bou was pushing through the bond. Does he know what he's doing?

"Darkness?" He asked and I could feel his confusion.

"All of us have, what my grandfather calls 'a darkness' inside of us. It's like a really powerful magic since we are demi devils. Lucifer is considered a type of God, that means we have god-like powers." I explained to him. Bou grabbed one of my hands and brought it up to his mouth to kiss it.

"And all of your siblings have this?" He asked.

I nodded as I gulped. f**k, how can he always be that horny.

"It has to be awoken, u-usually because of something t-traumatic happening." I stuttered.

Bou's body froze and panic seeped through our bond.

"Traumatic?" He asked and I nodded. "Was marking me traumatic for you?" He asked sadly.

I shot up to a sitting postion knocking the blacket from my naked upper half. Turning myself to face him I grabbed his hands in mine.

"No!" I shouted at him.

"No." I tried again a bit calmer.

"It wasn't. I wanted it Bou. It wasn't traumatic for me I swear. It's strange that it happened though. With Relly and Kee they had both been in danger, well Relly's mate was in more danger. And with Tia it was because of her mate. There isn't a guide for my siblings and I. That's why the bond with our sisters was so weird. But we are the first of our kind, we can only guess how things are going to be." I explained.

Bou nodded his head and a smile spread across his sexy lips.

"You marked me." He said and I nodded with a laugh. "You told me you loved me and marked me in the same day." He stared at me lovingly.

The emotions from him that flowed between us was almost too much. Bou loves me more than I ever realized. His joy over the two major events between us was overwhelming. Which only made my own guilt worse. How could I have put him through so much. "Hey, now." He said as he sat up with me and grabbed my face. "What's wrong baby? This is supposed to be a happy moment." He said as he wipped away my tears. I didn't even know I was crying.

"I just.. I just feel so awful about everything I've put you through." I sobbed. "I'm so sorry."

Bou wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his lap. He rested his cheek on the top of my head and rubbed my back soothingly.

"Shhh, it's alright my love. I understand why you acted the way you did. Especially now that we are connected like this." He said and I could feel the giddiness he still had about his mark. "I wish I could have gotten to you first. Then you would only know love." He whispered to me.

Bou pushed through calming sensations through the bond and after another couple of minutes, I stopped crying. I pulled back from Bou so that I could look into his piercing blue eyes. He smiled down at me and placed a kiss on the tip of my nose.

"I want you to mark me back." The words tumbled from my lips before I even realized what I was saying. I didn't care though, I wanted it. Bou's eyes went wide but he quickly recovered.

"Uhm, uh, are you sure about that Acaisia?" He asked me. I could feel through the bond that he wanted it just as badly as I do, if not more.

I nodded. "Yes. I want all of you. There's no going back now anyways." I smiled. "You already have two of my marks." I said.

Bou smiled down at me. "Okay." He breathed out.

"And I already know that you know how to do it." I narrowed my eyes at him. "Go on, say the words." I pushed.

"Doesn't there need to be a blood exchange?" He asked.

I shrugged. "Ahkari said that her and Bianca didn't have to do that. I wondered if it would be the same for us." I told him.

Bou's smile grew. He cupped each side of my face and stared into my eyes. The energy between us was intense, and hot. I could feel the lust grow between us and I wasn't sure if it was Bou's or mine or both. Bou's eyes started to glow as the ancient words tumbled from his lips.

At first nothing was happening and I was a bit sad that it wasn't going to be as easy for us. Then an intense white hot heat spread around my neck. I gasped as the pain quickly turned to plessure. Reaching up I gripped around my neck and a moment later it had stopped.

Bou was looking at me with concern and I smiled brightly at him. I removed my hands from my neck and Bou's eyes zeroed in on my mark. A smile tugged the corners of his lips and I tipped my head back so he could get a better look. "What's it look like?" I asked him.

Bou smiled wider and he moved my hair to look around my neck. "It wraps all the way around your neck." He told me with a smirk. "Bigger than our sisters." He said smugly making me giggle.

"It looks like a tattoo, a little raw looking." He commented and reached his hand up for his fingers to trail along the mark. I shivered.

"It's like a bunch of black vines that twist and turn together." He lifted my hair to look at the back of my neck.

"There are thorns poking out in a few spots." Then he point a finger right at the front of my neck.

"Our initials are here. It almost looks like a necklace, a choker. Funny I have a few chokers in our closet right now." He told me with a smirk.

I pushed on his chest and rolled my eyes. Bou grabbed my arm and pulled on top of him again. This time he fell on his back and I straddled him. Leaning down I pressed my lips to his.

"Your turn." I whispered against his lips.

"You want to finish marking me?" He asked surprised.

I giggled. "Of course I do." I told him. "Don't you?" I asked.

"Would you be mad if I said no?" He asked.

I sat up and stared down at him. He was serious. My face flushed with embarrassment. I was stupid to think he would want to jump right into this with me.

Shaking my head I tried to get off of him but he held me in place. I couldn't look into his eyes. I wanted to tell him it was okay, and it was. If Bou didn't want my marks I wouldn't force it on him, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. No matter how much I deserved it. "Hey hey." Bou said as he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.

"Baby it isn't that I don't want them, I just want to experience all of the things Bianca did. She spoke so highly about the sensations I want to know what it's like." He told me.

"You would still feel that with all of my marks. Maybe not as obessed with me though." I said. "But it's okay." I tried to put on a brave smile. "You waited for me, I can wait for you." I said.

Bou reached up to cup my cheek. I leaned into his hand and he smiled up at me. He was pushing those calming vibes through the bond again and it was working to help ease my anxiety. Still, I couldn't help but be sad that he wanted to wait even longer. "I love you Acaisia." Bou whispered as he sat up under me.

"I love you too Bou." I told him back.

"Now that we're marked does that mean we have to be extra careful to not get pregnant?" Bou asked making me snort.

I shook my head.

"That's not really how that works. If we are having s*x, there's nothing we can do. If the Moon Goddess wants us to have a baby, we will. Hopefully that doesn't happen for a very long time." I said with a small laugh. Bou pouted at me.

"You don't wanna have babies?" He asked me.

I looked deep into his eyes as I thought about his question.

"I never used to want kids." I said simply.

"And now?" Bou asked as he dipped in to kiss my mark.

I shuttered.

"Uhm, I don't really know if I'm mother material." I admitted.

Bou chuckled against my skin sending vibrations through my body and making me moan.

"I think we would be great parents one day." He said then placed another kiss to my mark. "Imagine how adorable our kids will be." He murmured against my skin. "Besides, making them is so much fun." He teased. "As long as you are their father I think I could handle it." I told him.

Bou smiled against my skin and pulled away to look me in the face.

"So, how many are we having then?" He asked making me laugh. "Definitely not twelve."
